No, it's named Nobel's Peace Prize, not for peace...

It's role has been debated a lot here in norway over the last years, as it has shifted it's position quite dramatically to also include things that indirectly affects war and peace, like working against poverty(grameen bank) and enviromentalism(like al and the chick 3-4 years ago).

I for one is not very happy about this.
